SINGAPORE, June 13, 2025 ?FBS, a leading global broker, has published a new expert analysis exploring how macroeconomic shifts, especially the normalization of the US Treasury yield curve, may create growth opportunities for the crypto market in 2025.
U.S. Treasuries climbed on Friday, pushing 10-year yields to one-month lows, as investors flocked to safe-haven assets after Israel conducted military strikes on Iran. Israel said early on Friday it had struck Iranian nuclear targets to block Tehran from developing atomic weapons, and Iranian media and witnesses reported explosions including at the country's main uranium enrichment facility.
The U.S. Treasury Department saw good interest in a $22 billion sale of 30-year bonds on Thursday, following concerns the U.S. government would struggle to find buyers for the longer-dated debt due to concerns about the long-term U.S. fiscal trajectory. The yield on the 30-year bond fell after the results were published, and was last down 6.6 basis points on the day at 4.843%.
U.S. Treasury yields on Thursday were on track for a fourth straight day of declines as markets absorbed economic data pointing to a worsening labor market and a moderate uptick in wholesale inflation.
In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.
Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
